For me, Rebol fills my need (want) to generate HTML from plain text (%eText.r), and generating HTML, XHTML, XML, SVG and other XML related languages (%ML.r). I've found Rebol handy to read .csv files that were generated badly, manipulate them (transpose, tear off columns, add other columns, and so on), and write the correct .CSV back to disk (%CSV.r). I've also found it great to write a Wiki CGI in (%Wiki.r). I've also needed it at work to aid other badly written programs that have no competitor (yet...), so they can do their job properly. I've got other needs that I think Rebol could fill, like reading and parsing XML well (so that I can read XML files written by MS Excel 2002), and native Windows (native OS) user interface (so that I can create "miniature" Windows compatible programs).
